Lakshya and Samskriti is sitting at the road side. He was helping her to have the water from the bottle that he is holding. His face clearly shows his concern and worry for her. She was drinking the water fastly stealing glances at him accordingly. At a point she stopped drinking and gestured that it's enough.

Guna and Vinay were looking at both of them standing by their side. Lakshya opened the food packet which Guna bought for her. She stopped him when he tried to feed her.

"I don't want to eat anything."she said showing her disagreement.
"Samskriti, you are tired. You must eat something. Otherwise you cant walk."he said trying to convince her.
"Appa, is he ok? They must be worried for me. Isn't it?"she asked sadly.

He didnt reply instead lowered his head agreeing with her.

"I want to see Appa...then akka, Anna, mama everyone."she stated.
He looked at her blankly.
"Can you please get me back to my home?"she requested making his heart melt.

He nodded and stood up. Then he supported her to stand and before taking the first step she was about to fall. He held her through her waist at correct time and saved her from falling. She looked at him in surprise and then held his hand strongly.

"You are so weak Samskriti. You must have eaten something."he said helping her to walk. But she was so lost in his concern for her.

"Why do you care for me?"she asked stopping.
"Because I love you."he said loudly making her burst into tears. she couldn't believe it completely. Hearing those words again from him sent peace to her heart. That was enough for her to forget all pains she suffered these days.

"Samskriti, you have asked me this question a lot of times earlier. That time I didn't have any answer. I tried to escape from you by saying it's my duty and you are my responsibility. I was also searching for an answer for your question. But now I clearly knows that I do love you and that's why I want you to be safe always."he said making her speechless.

"Yes Samskriti. I love you. Didn't you say me last time that you hates your life? Then give that life to me. I want your life and you. Because I can't live without you. Dont go away from me anymore. Please." He said and she hugged him immediately. He hugged her back letting himself flow in the emotions.

They discovered peace in each other's embrace. The same peace that both were trying to find out till now. She felt safe in his arms. He felt solace in her embrace that he didn't experience in his entire life. They remained in that position in each other's arms for a long time without wanting to move away.

Guna and Vinay smiled at them happily.

"I love you Laksh."she whispered making him close his eyes. He smiled and slowly moved away from her. He cupped her face.

"Thank you for loving this devil whom no one else can love."he said.
She smiled.
"In that case Mr.Laksh, I am devil's girl."she stated happily making his heart flutter.

"Can we go back home? I can't wait to see my family."she said after a few minutes.
He nodded. She walked holding Lakshya's hand with difficulty. He stopped and picked her into his arms. She blushed while he was admiring her beauty. He made her sit properly on the jeep and started driving.

Samskriti was laying on Shivani's lap and Sooryamoorthi slowly caressing her hairs sitting beside her. When Lakshya came back with Samskriti, it was a great relief for the whole family. They became happy and thanked Lakshya. Samskriti became relaxed getting back to her family.

"Samskriti, I have something serious to talk with you." Sooryamoorthi said observing her reaction.

"What Appa?"she asked getting up from her sister's lap.
"You are not safe here anymore. Eventhough Prabhakar is in jail, his father is still here hiding somewhere. I can't see you in trouble anymore." Sooryamoorthi declared.

"So what?"Shivani asked without understanding her father's plan.

"I think we should shift Samskriti to some other safe place where no one can find her easily."Sooryamoorthi said.

Samskriti was shocked. Shivani couldn't speak.
"What are you saying?" Samskriti asked in disbelief.

"I talked with your aunty in Sydney. No one knows about her since she is settled there for more than 10 years and didn't have much contact with us during these days. Since she is alone there she agreed to accommodate you too there and she is excited about that. You can also continue your dance practice there. So get ready for that and pack your bags. You are leaving next week." Sooryamoorthi declared making both of them froze on their position.

"Nooooo...I am not going leaving all of you. I can't..Pls Appa." Samskriti cried holding her father's hands.

He didn't look at her face. He knows that his both daughters are shattered hearing about his decision. More than them it was him who is more broken. He can't even imagine a day without his angel. But he is aware about the danger waiting for them. Until the day Vinayak is finished he can't sleep peacefully. Already his daughter suffered a lot for him. He can't take risk once again.

"Samskriti, it's for your safety. You will realize it later if it's not now." He said sternly avoiding her begging.
"Akka, pls tell him that I can't live away from you all."she said to Shivani.
"Appa don't you think that this is a quick decision? How can she live away from us? Let's discuss and decide."Shivani asked doubtful.
"My decision is final. So get ready prepared."He announced and went out of the room without looking at his daughters. He didn't have the strength to meet their eyes. But he was relieved thinking that it is for her own good.

Samskriti hugged her sister couldn't even process what her father told.

Lakshya was busy in discussion with his friends. He didn't notice Samskriti running towards him. He was shocked when she suddenly hugged him crying. He stood there dumbfounded. He gestured his friends to go and they did so.

"Samskriti, what happened? Hey listen..why are you crying?"he asked trying to make her stand straight. But she was not leaving him.

Finally he had to strongly push her to make her face him. He saw her eyes filled with tears and was frozen on his position.

"Hey what makes you cry? Don't tense me. Atleast tell me what happened" he cupped her cheeks with his arms.
It took a few minutes for her to be calm. He slowly patted her back till that.

"Samskriti, relax. See I am here with you." He wiped her tears.

"Laksh, Appa is sending me away from here. I won't go."she said making him confused.
"What are you saying?" He asked.
"He asked me to go to aunty's place next week. Sydney is very far Laksh. I cant see you if I go. Ask him to not send me."she cried.

He thought for a moment before hugging her tightly.
"It's ok. He is your father and he can't see you suffering because of him. It's all for your safety." He assured and she looked at him confused.

"Are you for real? If I go to Sydney, may be it will take years for me to come back. I can't see you and you cant see me these years. Dont you have any problem with that? Won't you miss me?"she asked in a single breathe.

"Yes I will definitely miss you. But nothing affects me if you remains safe. Even if it's too far away from me."he said.
"Laksh, I can't live without you. Please tell Appa to not send me away."she again hugged him.
"Listen, you know how much your Appa loves you? Isn't it?"he asked and she nodded.

"Each and every father on this earth wants their children to be safe. Even if it's away from them. How can I tell him to let his daughter remains in danger? Is it possible and will he obey me?"he asked doubtful.

"But Laksh what about us. Don't you love me?"she asked crying.
"I love you a lot and that's why I think the same as your Appa. He is suffering the biggest pain while sending you away. Likewise me too. You don't worry. Nothing can destroy our true love. Not only years, even if it takes decades I will wait for you here."he assured and she couldn't process it.

"Laksh how can you say this? I can't even imagine a single day without you and my family. And you are saying about years. Why are you always so difficult to understand?"she asked.

Before he could answer someone called Samskriti from inside.
"Go.."he said.
But she didn't move away and looked at him with a pained expression.

"Samskriti, if I ask you to stay back here with me it's not love. It will be selfishness. I want you to be safe above all. I will definitely miss you and even I can't live away from you. You are the one who gave me new hopes in my life. It's only because of you I came to know about what is love. It's difficult for me to live away from you. But if you are safe there, if I don't have to worry about you always if you go to Sydney, if no Prabhakar or Vinayak comes to hurt you there, then I can suffer any pain and loneliness for that. Only your safety matters to me."he said making her shock.

"Samskriti.."they again heard calling her.
"Now go before they come here searching for you. Let's talk at night."he said and she hesitately walked away. He had a pained expression on his face as if someone is stabbing his heart with a sharp knife. But he was aware that he should have to suffer this pain. For her.
